Playful Learning Institute - Information Session

As part of work to advance student engagement and learning in the early grades, DESE’s Early Learning Team will offer a Playful Learning Institute pilot initiative beginning in spring 2023 and continuing through the 2023-24 school year. The institute will be designed for district and school administrators, pre-kindergarten through grade 3 classroom educators, and out-of-school time program staff and administrators. The goal will be to provide participants with the tools and strategies needed to embed playful learning that supports deep dives into content, creates equitable access to learning, and creates varied opportunities for assessment across content areas.

The competitive grant, Playful Learning (Fund Code 347), seeks to select 5 school teams that will be part of the first pilot for the Institute. The Department's Early Learning Team will host a Drop-In Question and Answer Session on Tuesday, February 7, 2023 from 12:30-1:30. If you are interested in attending this Question and Answer session, please complete the registration below by Friday, February 3rd.
